Tag: opening our belief box

At our Reiki events and during private sessions it seems that many people are afraid to bring up the topic of miracles but want to. They want to know how long it will take them to heal. They want some concrete time frame as to how long this ‘Reiki stuff” will take to heal them especially if they have physical illness. Many people simply want a healing miracle. I totally understand. If there was a magic pill, believe me, I’D TAKE IT FIRST!! I live and deal with five chronic ‘invisible’ illnesses every day – you can bet, I’d be first in line getting that pill.

Bubble Bursting – Warning

I hate to burst your bubble, but sometimes a dose of reality is what we need. Sometimes believing in a magic pill keeps us in denial longer than good and real information that can help us move on. Ok, here is the bubble bursting but you have to read the whole thing to truly understand. If you don’t want to do that, then bail out now and stay in blissful denial. If you’d like to know more, it’s a good story, read on.

Reiki Works In Mysterious Ways

Here is a photo of us about six months before his rib went out.

Reiki will never go against our free will. Which means, if our soul has chosen illness as a spiritual tool for growth, then we must learn what we have come here to learn from this tool, BEFORE we can be healed. The earth plane is unique from other healing/learning planes of existence because it is the most dense. Therefore, there are lessons we can only learn while we are here; lessons such as addiction and physical illness. We can learn them in other planes of existence as well, but not to the same dense level that we can while in physical form here. Therefore, these lessons are critical to our soul’s development and we comprehend that at a soul level. But, we don’t remember it at a human level. That is the importance, but the reality is, there are no short cuts to learning these lessons. It takes years, lifetimes to learn many of these lessons we have signed up for, which means that the Reiki will help us, guide us and even heal us if that is what is for our highest good, but it will not ‘cure’ us, unless that is what our soul signed up for.

Lesson of Patience

Reiki will also not heal us any faster than our subconscious mind is ready for. If it did, our belief systems would send up a HIGH ALERT and sabotage the process we were making anyway. Reiki heals us at the exact pace our unique personality is ready to heal at, no faster and no slower. JUST RIGHT. This may not be as fast as your CONSCIOUS MIND wants to go, believe me, I totally understand this one first hand. But, this spiritual and healing work cannot be rushed. Sometimes the true beauty is in the process, the journey, the full experiences along the way. Sometimes we can’t see the true beauty until we are through it, but it’s even more impressive on that side.

Sometimes Miracles Happen

And then sometimes, miracles happen. Sometimes miracles are supposed to happen to help us along our path, to help us with our faith when we need it. I believe we also sign up for these miracles before we come here knowing we may need some extra support, some extra push in the right direction. My husband experienced such a healing miracle that helped him to believe in Reiki and me, many years ago when I was a new Reiki healer.

My Husband’s Reiki Miracle

My husband Robert is very open-minded, he has to be, to be married to me for over 18 years. But, he’s also a thinker, a cynic and a natural-born inquisitor of new things. When I started taking Reiki classes he was first in line for me to practice on him but didn’t like to ask me too often because I was busy with kids, Mommy/kid activities, household stuff and also practicing healings as much as possible in my ‘free’ time in between. He didn’t want to put more on me. I respectfully wait until he asks me to practice Reiki on him, still do. So it was a few months before he asked.

At this time in our lives, Robert would get a rib out regularly. If you’ve ever had a rib out, you know, it hurts pretty horribly and would put my strong and independent husband ‘on his knees’ so to speak. He searched high and low for a Chiropractor who could help him. We finally found one who could put him back in place and it would last 5 to 6 weeks. This was the best he’d found so far and he was thrilled. So, every 5 to 6 weeks he would journey up to the highlands about forty minutes away to have his body adjusted and then the rib would not go out. This worked well. Until it didn’t.

Enter – Student Healer Wife

Robert and I on the beach in CA before we moved to Sequim, WA. He’s always been my biggest & most faithful supporter.

After I’d taken my Reiki II class and had been practicing for a few months Robert’s ribs went out again. Unfortunately or fortunately for him, our Chiropractor was out-of-town. He was in such pain and feeling there was little hope for relief, he asked me if I would do a Reiki healing on him. I don’t know if he believed it would do anything, but when we have no other options, we often open up to new things we never would consider otherwise. Thank God for that. I didn’t even have a table back then so he laid on the end of the bed after the kids had gone to sleep and I did two hours of Reiki. Afterwards, I rolled him over and he fell asleep.

He woke up the next morning and not only were his ribs back in place, but there was no pain. Not only that, but his ribs didn’t go out again for almost EIGHT YEARS!! Eight years later, they went out again, I practiced Reiki on him again, put him to bed and now it’s been another two years. His body was helping him work on this issue again but in a lesser way.

Why Did Robert Get a Miracle?

I have contemplated this healing miracle my husband experienced and ‘discussed’ it with my guides over time. I believe Robert got a healing miracle because he needed it, because he signed up for it before he came here in order to fully believe in Reiki and me. Yes, it’s all about me, it’s my blog. LOL. I’m sure he has his own healing reasons as well, but combined with the fact that in order for me to have my business, which is run quite a bit out of our home and often interrupts family time and takes a great deal of dedication from our whole family – I believe he needed to, mind, body and soul, believe in what I do to help other people. Otherwise, he may not have been nearly as committed to my Reiki practice as he’s been, which is a great deal.

A Miracle is a Miracle

I don’t believe we always have to have a reason for a miracle, I believe we can’t possibly know how that all works. I like to believe that sometimes our Divine Source likes to surprise us and keep us on our toes with a nice surprise. And, I don’t believe we are truly meant to know how it all works. This is the faith part.

But, in some cases, like ours, I believe there was a reason and it worked wholeheartedly.

I see what I call ‘mini miracles’ in my life daily. To me, every time I feel the Reiki in my hands or receive intuitive information that connects to a client in an important way, that feels like a miracle to me – every time. It helps me have faith, hope and spiritual power by knowing each and every day that I am watched over, guided and protected by Divine Love. It keeps me going every day through the hard stuff and it gives me hope for our future on this planet that we can turn things around and save not only our planet but each other as well. These are all miracles, big or little. A miracle is a miracle no matter what you call it. If you just believe. If it gives you faith.

My family at about the time when I learned Reiki for the first time. My family has supported me in so many ways for me to be able to practice Reiki at home, at odd hours and on many weekends when we could have otherwise been together. They fully believe in me and what I do. So grateful for them.

I pray our little story helps you to understand a bit more about how Reiki heals, that miracles really do happen in our lives in big and little ways and we just need to be aware, be in the flow and be grateful. And, that patience is sometimes one of the biggest lessons we can learn, I know it is for me – because I still don’t have that magic pill.

REIKI ON!!

Many Reiki Blessings to you all, may you receive the miracle you requested this year!!

Love and Light,

My goal is to encourage and help others to incorporate Reiki into their daily lives seamlessly and with great joy. I have done this for myself over many years of working with Reiki and I find talking with my clients and students that not everyone does this easily.

Newbie

In the beginning, when we first take a Reiki class, we are often so overloaded with the information, the how to’s, that we stay inside our initial Reiki thinking box. We limit ourselves to the basics because we have to in order to just do the basics. It’s all good! That’s how we start. Some of us ‘get it’ faster than others and some of us take more time thoroughly comprehending what the Reiki can really do and how to do it. All in Divine time. But, we can also learn from others if we seek out ways to expand our Reiki boxes, when we are ready. It is my hope, for the Highest Good of All, that my little blogs help some of you to expand your Reiki box of what is possible to do with Reiki. Because I know first hand the daily miracles that come from having Reiki working with you to create the life you want. Here is one example.

Reiki & a Movie

Jax typically presents his butt first for Reiki. He likes having his picture taken much more than Cedric, so Jax is our model for today.

I have a very wonderful and close dear friend here in Sequim whose entire family is karmically connected to my family. We are all close and our kids fight like siblings or cousins I say, but that’s another story and another life. Gigi and I have over the years become very close and share a love of our families, healthy eating, our pets and of course, our spirituality and Reiki. Because of hectic family/work schedules, we usually schedule our dates ahead of time. Now and then Gigi and I schedule a lunch, walking date or a movie morning while the kids are in school. Much needed girl time.

I have worked with Reiki on her whole family and every time I visit I work on her two fury buddies, Jax and Cedric. All animals are different and some don’t like hands on Reiki. But Jax and Cedric LOVE hands on Reiki. They are Rat terriers and because of them I have fallen in love with the breed. They are such sweeties and simply LOVE ME and MY REIKI! As soon as I’m in the house they are ON me like flies on honey. They sometimes take turns and sometimes can’t wait and I have one hand on each of them while they sit in my lap.

Jax prefers hands on Reiki as opposed to me beaming it to him from a distance.

When I come over for a movie date, my two buddies are right on top of me, cuddling and soaking up the Reiki for a full two hours. When I mentioned this to a new client she was amazed. “What? You can run the Reiki while you watch a movie?” She hadn’t thought of that before. Yep, sometimes in this busy life, we multi task. If the choice is no Reiki or Reiki while watching the move, I’m sure Jax and Cedric would choose Reiki and a Movie every single time.

HOW

I simply get my Reiki flowing as soon as I walk in the door or even before while I’m in the car.

However you start your Reiki, I like to say my intentional prayer, ask Divine to send in my Reiki Guides of Love and Light, then let it flow.

I hold the intention that Jax and Cedric get exactly what they choose and what they need and that the Reiki will continue to flow through the whole movie.

They come and go, jumping off of me and running to the kitchen or the front door to bark, but they always come back for more cuddles and more Reiki. Meanwhile, I watch my movie, converse with Gigi as necessary and not necessary for a girls day off and get some doggy snuggle at the same time. I love when it’s a Win/win, don’t you.

Oh yeah, you can cuddle with your kids or sweetheart and run Reiki AND watch a movie all at the same time too!

CONGRATULATIONS to my first Reiki I class of 2015!! Every Reiki class is special for me, but they are all unique in their own ways too. This class seemed to not have a similarity connecting them in the beginning. But, I know, that by the end of class, similarities and connections appear, and they did, in quite magical ways. By the end of day two this group of ladies had faced their fears together, blew their ‘boxes’ wide open and gave my dog Mandy constant cuddles throughout the two days of class. Mandy is one happy Reiki dog.

Congratulations Michelle, Michel, Stevie, Merala and Rena. You made my month for sure!! I know 2015 is going to be a great year!

Animal loving connected us and much more. The first class was on Monday. The ladies went home, practiced self Reiki Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and by Thursday had me in tears with the stories of the mini-miracles that they were already creating in their lives with just three days of Reiki. Truly remarkable. I cannot divulge details, but these ladies gave me many good reasons why I’m so incredibly grateful, every single day, that I get to teach Reiki. Thank you ladies for choosing me to be your teacher!! I’m so honored.

The Peninsula Healer’s Circle is a group of holistic/integrative healing practitioners living and working on the north Olympic Peninsula of Washington State. To read more about our circle please read to the bottom of this blog.

Peninsula Healers Circle is currently meeting in the homes of the members. This month the meeting was at my home in Sequim, WA.

Monthly Meetings

Each month one of our members introduces a new topic for us to learn about other healing modalities. This way we can decide how we feel about a certain modality and if we’d like to try it deeper with a private session with the practitioner or even refer clients or friends to them. Sometimes the lessons are just for us to learn more about healing and some are just to have fun. Healing comes in many forms.

Pranic Healing

This months speaker for the Peninsula Healer’s Circle was really special. Gayle Nelson from Port Townsend, WA has been practicing Pranic Healing, an energy healing form from India, for six years. I was captured by her calm loving voice and her passion for what she was teaching. She obviously has a great deal of love for this healing method and brought that to our group. She guided us through a lovely twenty-minute meditation, taught us techniques for cleansing our energy, cutting cords and healing our chakras. Gayle had everyone in the room involved, all working on their own energy bodies. It was quite beautiful to watch all the hand movements of all the members working together at the same time. This Pranic Healing demonstration was extra special for me since Pranic Healing was the first energy healing I experienced after waking up. It really helped to get me started as an energy healer and be open and ready for when I found Reiki.

If you’d like to reach Gayle for a session with her and Pranic Healing, she can be reached at gayle@pranichealing.com or 360-477-1872.

More about the Peninsula Healer’s Circle:

Our goals for the group are:

to build a mutually supportive community of healers

to develop a more in-depth understanding of the different healing modalities offered by members of the circle

to offer a site where people can locate healing practitioners of various modalities in our area

We invite interested practitioners or students of any of the many energy healing or other holistic/integrative/complementary/alternative healing modalities to join our circle. Meetings are held on the 3rd Friday of each month from 9-11 am for learning and 11am to 12pm for social hour, at the homes of various group members. There is no charge for group membership or attending our monthly circles.

This is an opportunity to network with other healers, learn more about different healing modalities, share knowledge and friendship, offer mutual support, and build a referral base for your practice. If you would like more information about how to join this group please visit our new website at www.peninsulahealerscircle.weebly.com .

Reiki Blessings to you all,

so grateful for ALL people opening their hearts to their own Divine healing abilities,

I teach in Reiki I that there is no wrong way to do Reiki. IT’S ALL GOOD!! JUST DO IT!! Are some of my favorite ‘catch’ phrases. If we make a ‘mistake’ while doing Reiki, we can always learn something from it, and therefore, it was not a mistake. However, even by NOT doing Reiki we are learning how we feel when we do not do it.

This doesn’t work as well if the person doesn’t practice Reiki from the start though, because they never get a chance to feel how good it feels while actually doing Reiki practice.

So, it is my focus as a teacher to motivate my students to DO daily Reiki, every day for the first month after their class, both to create the habit, but also so they can FEEL a difference that Reiki makes in their lives. I have seen this work quite well with many people. However, everyone is different and there are many different reasons people stop practicing their Reiki. Each person is an individual, it helps a lot if I can have a one on one session with them to FEEl in them, why they are not being successful with their Reiki practice. This was the case with my client, Nancy.

HUMMINGBIRD CLIENT

My client, Nancy, has been coming to me for Reiki sessions for over a year for pain in her body and stress relief. She also became a student of Reiki and has come to some Reiki Circles so she could work on herself in between our sessions. She felt an extreme difference in the beginning when she did Reiki on herself every day and had mini-miracles happening in her life on a weekly basis. Then, she hit her busy season and stopped her daily Reiki practice. Nancy owns her own business and works very hard at it and loves it. But, often times, she finds herself working too much at a job that is very physical and hard on her body. Reiki and meditation help her to support her body while keeping up a challenging schedule.

Even hummingbirds sit and rest now and then.

PRIVATE SESSION

While working on Nancy’s heart chakra I received some information about why consistent Reiki self-healing has been a struggle for her. My guides told me that Nancy is a very busy and active kind of person, doing a full half hour session feels like too much for her to do. She likes to be busy, and active and not sit still for long. She’s a doer. I admire this, would love to be more this way at times so I can admire her for her great enthusiasm for her work and life. She loves it and has great passion. However, she also meditates and enjoys the benefits of Reiki and down time too. But, when it comes to Reiki, a full half hour or more session on herself just seems too overwhelming for her. She created a belief in her subconscious mind that Reiki must be done in half hour self-healing sessions. Probably because that is how we do it in Reiki I class. But, if we remember first and foremost, THERE IS NO WRONG, then we can retrain our belief systems to do Reiki in any way that works for us. Let me repeat that, WE CAN DO REIKI IN ANY WAY THAT WORKS FOR US!! This is what I explained to Nancy and she said “Oh yes, I’m a hummingbird. I flit from flower to flower. That will work much better.” I said “Ok, we’ll call your Reiki, hummingbird Reiki for you. And, maybe others would like to try it this way too.”

HOW TO DO HUMMINGBIRD REIKI

Simple, remember that you can do Reiki in little bits that fit into your life and your schedule. Instead of doing all the hand positions like in a 30 minute self treatment, just do one or two of the most important areas. Trust your intuition on where you need it most in that moment and do it. REMEMBERING to do it and start this habit may be the most difficult part. Do what you need to do, to keep Reiki in the forefront of your mind while creating this new habit. A string or rubber band around the wrist is a good reminder and an easy one for at least the first month or until you feel the habit has been engrained within your subconscious.

Make any small moment in time a chance to do self Reiki practice:

Reiki when you are waiting for the gas to finish pumping

Reiki while in the line while waiting to pick up your kids at school

Reiki on yourself while posting on Facebook. Just let it flow.

Reiki to calm your nerves or settle a tension headache before a stressful event

Reiki on your sacral or solar plexus while you are using the facilities for a minute or two, or three

Reiki while watching T.V. or listening to music

Reiki while you meditate or do yoga

Reiki on your kids while they are arguing in the other room. (Reiki them through the walls until they stop or calm down.)

Reiki yourself while your kids are arguing in the next room. (LOL Either one is good for you.)

Reiki beamed at yourself from your hands resting on your lap while waiting for a client or prospect to come in. A very subtle way to do Reiki on yourself in public places.

Reiki yourself while waiting at your table for your food to be brought out.

Reiki on yourself while you have a 15 minute break at work.

Reiki while on hold waiting for a customer service rep. Chances are you’ll need to be very calm by the time they come on the phone.

We have endless amounts of bits of time in between our busy moments where we can do 5 minute or less Reiki on ourselves. ITS ALL GOOD!! Even five minutes, built up here and there, can do a lot.

“Any Reiki is better than no Reiki at all!!” Josslyn Streett, just said that!!

Remember, if it truly is ALL GOOD and we truly can do NO WRONG, then what you can do with your Reiki ability is endless. If you have other ideas on how to do some Hummingbird Reiki or have examples of how you HAVE done this, please share with us here in the comments section. We all learn from each other.

Many Reiki Blessings to Nancy for allowing me to share her story and to all of you for reading, commenting and DOING REIKI!! Even the smallest actions towards Love and Light are powerful!!

I do not always write about our Reiki circles, but lately it seems there has been something of interest to write about. Last night we had a very nice sized Reiki circle, not out biggest, but big for our small town Reiki community. We had 15 people come, learn about, discuss and share Reiki.

We had three rooms with a massage table in each and five people at each table. Each group working with Reiki independently, but also, I could feel the energy of all 15 of us, all working together as one; one intention, one energy, one purpose – to heal each other. I could also feel, in the bigger picture, all spiritual people all over the world coming together in unity, in one purpose, to heal our world, one person at a time, or 15 at a time in our case. This is why working in small spiritual groups is so important for all of us right now. (Photo by Josslyn Streett – do not use without consent from her directly)

We had people of all experiences with Reiki and some with absolutely no experience at all. We started with a discussion of what Reiki is, then how to do Reiki, then as we know, especially with Reiki that EXPERIENCE IS THE BEST TEACHER, we DID Reiki on each other. That is what Reiki circle is all about after all, DOING!!

Which leads me to one of my favorite quotes I read in my Reiki I class about Reiki by Frank Arjava Petter from his book “Reiki, The Legacy of Dr. Usui”, “Reiki itself, I mean the energy, cannot be taught. It reveals itself completely on its own if we are attentive. This attention is what the teacher promotes in the student.”

“Energy must not be explained, but experienced.”

BABY REIKI

Baby M is back and doing Reiki on us. He took my full Reiki I class with his mom a month ago and we believe he spontaneously attuned himself because he’s been running Reiki ever since then. Tonight he came to the circle with his mom. Watching was not enough, he wanted to DO Reiki too! (Photos by Josslyn Streett – do not use without consent from her directly.)

I and one other at our table received our first Reiki from a baby. And, he had very distinct ideas about where he wanted his hands as well as his mother’s hands. He was pushing on her and directing her hands where he wanted them to be. He was quite serious in his practice. But, then, he’s quite a serious guy.

COMING TOGETHER

I also felt a very strong feeling of coming together. Not just this group of 15 people coming together, but the whole world, coming together as ONE, to shift the energy of our planet. These are the feelings I often get at Reiki circle and one of the reasons I love Reiki circle so much and encourage everyone to attend one. Small groups of spiritual people coming together with intention, purpose and Divine Guidance can seriously change the world for the better. We can save ourselves and our world, all at the same time.

What are you doing on a Saturday night that is more important than that? (Question for you, not for me.)

Thank you so much for all who attended our circle last night. I’m so incredibly grateful every single time I get to participate with these amazing spiritual people, right here in my own small town. I’m constantly amazed by how many people are coming out of the woodwork to learn Reiki and also, a whole new way of being connected to our Creator through Reiki practice. I love it, live for it because it gives me great hope for our future. And, because it makes life truly magical every single day.

I have noticed lately that the guides who come to help are a little different during readings, healings or attunements. I’m meeting guides I haven’t worked with or been introduced to before during readings. In many of these readings they simply FEEL different. These guides are combinations of guides of Universal energy, star energy combined with Earth elemental energy. When I talk to other psychics who do spirit guide readings I find that they are experiencing the same thing, especially among elemental or earth type spirit guides. I personally believe this means that as more and more of us truly BELIEVE in them again, they are waking up from their ‘lack of belief’ induced slumber and are ready to aid us in this new energy that is emerging and changing. I believe that when people stopped believing in fairies, mermaids, angels and even God, many of the elemental beings went into a deep sleep within the earth or in another dimension, ready to be reawakened as soon as they are needed again. Now is the time, they are reawakening. They are here once again to help, because WE are asking for their help. We are grateful for their help. The more they are needed, the more that will wake up to answer the call.

The Neck/Nix are shapeshifting water spirits who usually appear in human form.The German Nix are types of river merman and mermaid who may lure men to drown.Nixes in folklore became water sprites, who try to lure people into the water. The males can assume many different shapes, including that of a human, fish, and snake. The females are beautiful women with the tail of a fish. When they are in human forms, they can be recognised by the wet hem of their clothes. The Nixes are portrayed as malicious in some stories but harmless and friendly in others.(Source: paranormalnight)

Possibilities

It is time to open up to the possibility that everything we have read about, fairies, mermaids, water sprites, gnomes, leprechaun, Atlantis, etc. are all possible, are all truly here on an energetic level and want to help us save our earth and ourselves. They are not just a figment of our imagination, they are real on an energetic level and who knows what could happen if many people start believing again, they may be able to have the strength need and desire to be real on a physical level as well. I believe they once were a long time ago. I do not believe it is an accident that more than a few different ancient cultures all around the world have stories of mermaids, fairies and other ‘little’ people who come to help and be merry or create mischief.

Talking to fairies

Even though it’s easy for me to believe because I talk to them, see them and work with them daily, they are as real to me as the internet is to you. But, I have always believed. I never stopped believing as I grew from child to adult. Even in the pre-teen years and young adult years when I forgot about them, I still believed. Maybe not in the same way I do today, but I believed that there is way to much that is unexplained in the world, way to much magic in the world NOT to believe in something just because I hadn’t seen it. I was open to all good things being possible. That is all it takes to start. Open to the possibility that it could be true and if it is, you are open to EXPERIENCE them for yourself. Maybe I remembered somewhere in my soul that I had once talked with them, once played with them as a child. Somehow I kept that memory and that belief in magic and unseen things. You too have memories in your soul about spirit guides. You too can open your heart, stop being afraid of what people will think, what you think, if you believe in unseen things. What have you got to lose? Nothing, nothing at all.

Here are some fairies found in “The secret sketchbooks of Brian Froud”. Brian Froud is one of my favorite fairy artists. He has many beautiful books on fairies, good and bad.

Open your heart and your mind

It is time to open our hearts and our minds both, to POSSIBILITIES!! The possibility that maybe we don’t know everything. The possibility that maybe we don’t have to ‘see’ something in order for it to be real. The possibility that science cannot explain everything that exists. The possibility that maybe dreams do come true and maybe we can manifest everything we need and maybe we can live in harmony with each other and our planet without feeling a lack in our hearts ever. Maybe World Peace is a possibility! The more we all open our hearts to good things, new things, ‘CRAZY’ things, the more crazy will be the norm. I take great pride in being thought of as not ‘normal’ whatever that is, would you like to join me!!?

Water Sprite emerging from the water

I invite you to call me for a spirit guide reading. I invite you to come to a Reiki class and FEEL the energy for yourself. EXPERIENCE your personal Reiki guides on the first day. I invite you to learn how to meditate so you don’t need me to FEEL the presence of your personal guides. Are you ready to truly BLOW your mind? Are you ready to truly OPEN YOUR BOX to a much larger size? I’m here and ready to help you when you are. It’s an awesome ride and I wouldn’t live this life on earth without it. I need magic in my life to be able to see the true rainbow of colors and adventures that are available to us here. Don’t you need magic in your life, real magic?

Welcome back Spirit Guides

“Where Moonbeams FallIn the soft muted colours of the night, the ethereal fairy dances among the moonbeams, scattering stardust in her play. Serenity and inner joy are reflected in the radiance of her expression and the lightness of her fairy ballet as she dances in communion with the universe.” By Josephine Wall

Josslyn Streett is a Reiki Master/Teacher/Psychic reader and mom. If you would like a reading over the phone with her you may contact her at rainshadowreiki@gmail.com or 360-460-7829

This is the first post of a series I’ll be doing over time of book reviews of the books I’m reading. If they sound interesting to you and you are local, all books are available in my lending library. A donation is appreciated.

The book I am reviewing is, “Memories of God and Creation” by Dr. Shakuntala Modi. This is the second book of Dr. Modi’s that I have read and throughly enjoyed. In fact, I have not read a book on this particular topic before using hypnotized subjects. I found it incredibly interesting. Plus, it made me think a lot about my own beliefs and what makes sense to me. Loved that! Any book that opens my belief box to such a large extent receives a great rating just for serving me in that way.

Dr. Modi is a Psychiatrist who found that most of her patients were not actually getting better. She searched for another way and found great healing through hypnosis. She now combines the two modalities and has amazing success. Due to my background in hypnosis, I find myself continually drawn to books by hypnotherapists. I find it a bit easier to believe the information when it comes from many different hypnotized patients, yet they all get the same message. At the least, it is very intriguing.

What feels right to you, may not feel right to others

With anything you read, watch on T.V. or hear over the radio, I recommend you read this and all information with your own personal filter on. Do not take in any information without you reviewing it personally first and seeing how it FEELS to YOU. Your intuition is what counts for you. Most of the information in this book felt right to me and so I took it in and have been able to use much of it to enhance the healings that I do. However, there were a few things that I feel were not of the Light completely and maybe got slipped in when the author was having a difficult day and she choose to put in information that maybe was not from her highest source of guidance. Because this happens with all written material, be aware, read with your filter on and take in only what FEELS right to YOU!

“Memories of God and Creation” is about hypnotized patients having memories of God, creation and how the universe was created. They describe in similar details why God created life, humans, planets and even how evil began. Dr. Modi believes we all have these subconscious memories in us and the ability to remember them under hypnosis. The revelations in the book include real patient descriptions of:

What I found most interesting is the detailed descriptions from all the patients of How the God energy started, grew and then created life. I found it very possible due to how much creation of Divine Source mirrors creation on Earth, such as cells dividing. I won’t give it away but only say that if you are ready, truly ready to expand your “box” on this subject. This book is very worth reading. The patients also describe similarly in detail how Lucifer and his followers grew and then left God to be their own rebellion, their own revolution against the Light. I also enjoyed reading her take on how the creation of individual souls happened and how each soul continues to be connected to God but with all the issues and emotions that came with the “disconnection” from God.

As a healer I read everything with different glasses on than others. I look for ways and ideas of how to use this information to help in the healings that I do. I have to say, THIS book gave me more information and more ideas on how to help my clients than any book I’ve read yet. This book with all this visual information about our Source helped me to create a system of “Source Healing” for healing very deep issues like: abandonment, self-worth, anger, vengeance, disconnection from Divine Source, feelings of isolation, depression, abuse, judgement, not fitting in anywhere, and so much more. It is my belief that much of the deep emotions that people are feeling coming to the surface at this time are very core issues directly from our separation from God that we have never been able to work on before at this level. I feel we are at a place in time and energy within our planet that these issues are able to be healed, ready to be healed, at the very core levels. We only need to listen to our inner voices and not ignore what we are feeling. This book helped me to see that and helped me to create a healing system to work at these deep levels with the energy therapies that I do. Wondrous! If I had stars to give out I’d give this book 4 1/2 out of 5 stars.

Sometimes the simplest ideas are the best. That’s why I love Winnie the Pooh.

Reiki is Love, you just have to feel it to experience it in order to understand it. The best way to FEEL it is to TRY it. If you have never tried it, you have no idea how it feels or what it is or what it can do for you. I can write and talk and email until I’m blue in the face, so to speak, but TRYING it and FEELING it is what will truly make a difference in your life. So, what have you got to lose? Nothing but that box around your beliefs.

If you do not personally believe in reincarnation you can think of past life healing as a kind of dream, a story, or a play that is similar to what you are going through now in your life but with different characters acting it out for you. That way the play you are experiencing is not so “close” to you and therefore, not so emotional either. It aids the client in being able to rise above their personal situation and see it from a more universal perspective. (Read examples of some of Joss’ remarkable healings on her “Past Life Healings Notes” page.) WARNING: Much of the time, the past life Josslyn is experiencing and retelling to the client is so real and makes so much sense to the client, they literally have an A-Ha moment. Clients often times end up considering the idea of reincarnation themselves. An experience that makes you really THINK about something totally new, that’s a worthwhile experience!

Open to the possibilities of reincarnation

Here is another “story” from Joss’ Past Life Healing Notes:

Irish Sailor’s wife and Russian Babushka

Before I could even get into a trance to get started with the healing on Noel, I started getting a heaviness and tightness in my heart area and almost blacked out. I felt very dizzy. I had to kneel down before I passed out. I told her exactly what I was experiencing and feeling. It felt like a squeezing of my heart to the point of pain, extreme tightness. She surprisingly exclaimed that it was exactly what it felt like for her. She totally resonated with the feeling I was having. I was glad because otherwise I was going to have to cancel the healing and go to the hospital. But, when she said she understood this I knew it was her I was tapping in to. I kneeled to do my prayer of intention and grounded myself and asked Divine for help moving the feelings out and I felt chills start at my legs and go up my body until it was suddenly gone. I knew Divine had helped me and I felt better. It was the strongest empathic experience I have ever had. But it helped me to really understand to the extent in which the pain in her heart was causing her.

I stood up and started working on her. At once a life came regarding this. At that point she told me how she is in a long distance relationship and it’s really hard on her. Her boyfriend is working and living in CA.

Life 1 – She was a young mother with five kids, one infant. Most were girls, one or two boys. She was only 25 or 26 years old. Her husband was a sailor. He was gone a lot. He started out in another country, Turkey, as a military sailor. He was a bit of a rebel and jumped ship and got on an Irish ship. He was smart and well liked and worked his way up honestly to a position of respect below the captain within a few years time, rather quickly. He loved the sea and the freedom of being at sea. She respected him enough to not want to take that away from him but it hurt her a lot. She held most of it in, in her heart. Her heart looked like very tight like wound up muscles. She only let it out to God now and then when she was alone and it got to be too much for her. Other wise she held all the pain in. I saw him coming home to his family and the coming home was harder on her than the leaving. Noel agreed with all of this and was stunned by how accurate a portrayal of her boyfriend this life portrayed. Herself as well. She was taught growing up not to show her feelings, not to cry or express but to hold it in. When he was out to sea (back in Ireland) she had a good strong support system of friends and family to keep her company and happy. She was a strong women to do this time after time. She and her family went to the woods and the fields and gathered wild flowers and tied them into bouquets and sold them in the market place, not for much but a little extra helped. I felt her husband was good, loyal and respectful, not a sailor who had a woman in every port at all. I felt a strong connection between them but they need to learn a way to come together in this life without compromising her or his passion. She cannot manipulate this man at all, he’d run from that fast. She must give him his space and he will come to her. She totally agreed with this assessment.

A Babushka is a Russian Grandmother

Life 2– She was a biological grandmother but acted as mother to him, her boyfriend again. The scene I saw most was them cuddling together by the fire in a rocker. He died of fever at age 10 in her arms. She also held her grief and sadness in her heart and didn’t let others see. She could not read or write but she could sing her folk songs and even wrote new ones herself and expressed herself that way. She was called a babushka and wore a red scarf on her head. She was not old, maybe in her 40’s to 50’s for a grandma but she was short and squat and heavy and older looking than that. She had such a great love for this boy and he for her. (Much release from her heart chakra along the way while I’m viewing these lives for her.) She put love, heart and soul into her cooking and her singing. Again she had the pattern of not showing her feelings, not FEELING her feelings and hiding them in her heart chakra. After much releasing her heart chakra felt much lighter. She even said it felt lighter which is the one word I get the most after big releases like this one.

Noel said the healing and the experience was one of the biggest of her whole life.

Since the healing she has been able to work with feeling her feelings, crying, and releasing her emotions rather than bottling them up in her heart. When we do this year after year, life after life, we cause dis-ease in our hearts. Reiki can help you to learn to let it go, release it for good!
